RECOGNIZING MICHELLE BREWER FOR HER APPOINTMENT TO THE ONESTAR NATIONAL 
                           SERVICE COMMISSION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BRIAN BABIN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 15, 2021

  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Michelle Brewer for 
her appointment by Governor Abbott to the prestigious OneStar National 
Service Commission. The Commission actively seeks out opportunities for 
Texas volunteers and charitable organizations to engage and connect 
with one another, and accelerates their impact on local communities. 
Furthermore, OneStar manages and operates the Rebuild Texas Fund, an 
organization dedicated to assisting Texans who are still feeling the 
devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey.
  Michelle's time and experience with Hardin County Strong as Disaster 
Recovery Director has more than prepared her for this role. Over her 
past four years as director, Michelle was fundamental in helping her 
community recover from Hurricane Harvey, and she was able to use 
critical connections, resources, and her vast wealth of knowledge to 
bring desperately needed assistance to Hardin County in an expedited 
manner.
  The most important duty of every public servant is giving back to the 
community they serve. Madam Speaker, I would like to honor my friend, 
Michelle Brewer, for her work experience and time in Hardin County that 
demonstrate she more than exceeds this expectation. I cannot think of 
an individual better suited for this position.

                          ____________________
